VDA 5 – Measurement and Inspection Processes. Capability, Planning, Management ID 471

Contents
Several standards and guidelines exist that spell out the requirements for identifying and handling uncertainties in measurement and inspection processes. Companies face many issues in this area, particularly in the organization and certification of their quality management systems.

The training explains how to determine the capability of measurement and inspection processes, and how inspection processes are planned and carried out. Here product development is integrated into the inspection process. The program highlights the fluid borders between the related processes of inspection equipment management, inspection planning and inspection process management (incl. the defined roles). It also focuses on protecting against the risks associated with measurement and inspection processes. This two-day seminar covers all the topics surrounding measurement systems, measuring processes and inspection processes.

Objectives
• You can apply the methods set out in VDA Volume 5 in your own practice.
• You can protect against the risks associated with measurement and inspection processes.
• You know how to select the criteria for procuring your measuring and inspection equipment.
• You can recognize and quantify the factors that affect the suitability of the inspection process.
• You can document the suitability of the measuring system and the measuring process, and you know how to handle expanded measurement uncertainties at the limits of the specification.
• You are able to deal with non-capable measurement and inspection processes.
• You can evaluate the suitability of attributive inspection processes

Concept and Methods
The training combines compact lectures, intensive group work and feedback from an experienced trainer. Special attention is paid to trying out and practicing the specific activities in inspection process management using practical examples.

The VDA has published a revision (yellow band) of Band 2 – Production and Process Assurance.
The yellow bands are not final and offer the entire supply chain – i.e., every company that applies the band – the opportunity to submit an objection.
The objection may relate, for example, to effort, comprehensibility, wording, etc. Of course, the objection must be qualified and well-founded.
It will then be reviewed by the project group, which will either accept or reject it, and provide feedback to the submitter.
The link to download the volume and the feedback form is as follows:

In this post, we have focused on providing an initial overview. On our website, you will find a more detailed description and a comparison of the changed content and chapters at the following link.

Enjoy reading. https://gab-global.com/en/faqs/65/detail/ & https://gab-global.com/de/faqs/66/detail/

VDA Volume 2 defines the production process and product approval procedure (PPF) as a central control instrument for ensuring quality, conformity, and deliverability in the automotive supply chain. It ensures that products and production processes meet all agreed customer requirements and that risks are controlled before series production begins.

The 7th edition (2025) takes into account the increased requirements resulting from more complex products, globalized supply chains, and shorter development cycles. The central guiding principle is a consistently risk-based approach: the scope and depth of the PPF are based on product, process, and change risks – not on rigid document requirements. This clearly shifts the focus from formal completeness to effectiveness and decision quality.

Production and process approval is a mandatory prerequisite for series delivery. Overall responsibility for the process lies with the organization – including outsourced processes and the supply chain. Existing evidence from upstream approvals (e.g., Tier n-PPF or PPAP) can be integrated.

Significant changes, Volume 6 to Volume 7:

1. Strong focus on the risk-based approach:
o Inclusion of the recommendation of VDA and industry standards for electronic components "VDA 210-300 Multiple Source" and "VDA 210-200 HW-DQM"
o An addition for off-the-shelf automotive AEC-Q qualified electronic components.
o New PPF procedures are no longer limited to 12 months in the event of production interruptions, but are now linked to the risk of the product and production process.
o A new feature is the mandatory early coordination of the PPF procedure between the organization and the customer. This provides clarity about the scope, evidence, roles, scheduling, and escalation paths and reduces subsequent conflicts, delays, and additional claims.
2. Less work involved:
o The requirements for evidence catalogs have been reduced and are now determined by the scope of the PPF procedure based on the risk level of the products to be approved.
This has reduced the number of verifications to be submitted and also strengthened the referencing of existing verifications.
o Important: The process diagram for customer involvement replaces the trigger matrix (at the end of volume 6). Goal: Risk-based approach by deciding whether internal PPF is sufficient or whether additional PPF procedures with the customer are necessary.
3. Change to the software in the PPF process
o Software is explicitly anchored as a PPF-relevant product component
The 7th edition clarifies that software (including embedded software, software updates, and configuration data) is fully subject to the PPF process and no longer implicitly "runs along" with hardware approvals.
o Risk-based PPF application to software versions and changes
Software changes (e.g., feature updates, bug fixes, calibrations) require a risk-based assessment of whether and to what extent a PPF or a staged PPF is necessary – regardless of hardware changes.
o Stricter requirements for software configuration and version management
The 7th edition emphasizes the need for clear software versions, version labels, and traceability as a prerequisite for product and process approval as well as for field measures.
o Integration of software-specific evidence into the PPF process
Software tests, verification and validation evidence (e.g., functional, integration, or regression tests) are clearly recognized as permissible and necessary PPF evidence and are systematically incorporated into the release decision.
o Greater management responsibility for software-driven risks
OTA updates, functional activations, and late software changes are increasingly shifting the risk to series production. The 7th edition makes it clear: software approvals are management decisions because they have a direct impact on product safety, conformity, and liability.
o A key performance indicator board for software

What are the differences between ISO 27001:2022 or TISAX®?
When first considering which of the two requirements should be implemented in a company, many questions arise.
What are the most important differences between ISO 27001:2022, or more precisely the implementation of an Information Security Management System ISMS and TISAX® ?
You can find information on this on our website under "News" as well as in the training descriptions for ISO 2700:2022 or TISAX®.
www.gab-global.com.

ISO 27001:2022 is the basis of the certification of the same name, it represents a complete management system ISMS. (Information Security Management System)
TISAX®, on the other hand, is an approach to information security based on ISO 27001:2022 and the VDA-ISA requirements (Information Security Assessment)..
If you need the VDA catalogue VDA-ISA free of charge get in touch with us.
TISAX® does not represent a complete management system, but is based on a completed SoA Self-Assessment (Statement of Application). It is more like a specification from VDA for automotive suppliers and services providers.
In their customer-specific requirements, more and more automotive manufacturers are demanding TISAX® proof from their suppliers and partner companies.

With ISO 27001:2022, the information security management system will be certified and generally published on the Website.
With TISAX®, on the other hand, compliance with the VDA-ISA requirements is assessed.
The TISAX® labels are published by ENX (European Network Exchange Association) on its website. These are visible to all.
The validity of both certifications is 3 years. With ISO 27001:2022, on the other hand, there is annual monitoring, as with other management systems.
With TISAX® there is not.
There are further differences here, which we explain further in the chapter "Audit objectives".

What is behind ISO 27001:2022?
The 27001:2022 is the basis of all information security management system, ISMS, standards.
It is published by the International Organization for Standardization, ISO.
ISO 27001:2022 is cross-sectoral and defines general requirements in the "high level structure" like ISO 9001:2015 for a management system:
- Planning
- implementation
- monitoring
- improvement

Furthermore, ISO 27001:2022 contains 93 controls in "Appendix A", with which companies can improve their Information Security.
In order to obtain the certificate, companies must fulfil the requirements or exclude them under certain conditions.
However, the standard is basically general and part of the 27000 family.
In addition, there are sector-specific parts such as ISO 27019 for energy suppliers or ISO 27011 for telecommunications companies.
TISAX® is based on the requirements of ISO 27001:2022 and extends these "automotive industry- specific.”
TISAX® stands for Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange.
TISAX® was defined as a standard by the VDA in 2017.

An example of this extension is the TISAX® requirements for prototype protection.
Many OEMs now require TISAX® certification. However, ISO 27001:2022 certification is not necessary to obtain this.
If a company has decided on the "higher level" ISO 27001:2022 certification, this is usually within the scope of negotiation with the customers (OEM, n-tier) to accept this instead of the TISAX®.
A good prerequisite for accepting ISO 27001:2022 instead of TISAX® is the additional fulfilment of the automotive specific features, which we will explain in a later post.
Customers from other industries (e.g. energy, cloud,...) are unlikely to accept TISAX® instead of ISO certification.
What are the differences between the two standards.
The biggest differences between ISO 27001:2022 and TISAX® are the VDA-ISA requirements catalogue, the audit process and the scope.

What is behind TISAX®?

TISAX® (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) is a framework developed specifically for the automotive industry to ensure that information security standards and data protection requirements are met in the supply chain. TISAX® includes a number of elements and requirements to ensure information security and data protection in the automotive industry. The main components of TISAX® include:
1. Information Security Requirements: TISAX® is based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and extends these standards to include specific requirements for the automotive industry.
This includes the test objectives confidentiality, integrity and availability of information from ISO 27001:2022 as well as protection measures for personal data from the EU Data Protection Regulation and customer-specific requirements such as prototype protection.
2. Assessment Process: TISAX® carries out an assessment of information security and data protection measures in companies operating in the automotive supply chain. This assessment is usually carried out by accredited TISAX® auditors.
3. Protection of Personal Data: A focus of TISAX® is on the protection of personal data to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the automotive industry. This includes defining policies and procedures for processing personal data and ensuring its security.
4. Classification of Security Levels: TISAX® uses a security classification with different levels (protection levels) for information and data. This classification helps companies to implement appropriate security measures according to the respective protection needs.
5. Exchange of Audit Results: TISAX® enables the secure exchange of test results between companies and business partners in the automotive supply chain. This promotes transparency and trust with regard to information security and data protection.
6. Audit report and certification: After successful completion of the TISAX® assessment, companies receive an audit report containing the identified security deficiencies and recommendations for improvement. If they meet the requirements, they receive TISAX® certification, which entitles them to work with automotive manufacturers and suppliers.

Overall, TISAX® aims to ensure a high level of information security and data protection in the automotive industry while facilitating the exchange of information between companies in the supply chain. It is an important step in ensuring that confidential information and personal data are adequately protected in this industry.

So where are the differences?

1. Catalogue of Requirements

The basis of TISAX® is the VDA-ISA catalogue of requirements. This catalogue of requirements is based on the ISO controls and adapts them to the suppliers of the automotive industry.
Added to this are...
 special requirements for processing personal data
 non-disclosure agreements
 Prototype protection.. which are not included in ISO 27001:2022.
The requirements contained in the VDA-ISA demand concrete proof of implementation, whereas the measures of ISO 27001:2022 are rather generic.
In the TISAX® catalogue of requirements, there is a difference between "must" and "should" as well as the requirements for "high protection needs" and "very high protection needs".

2. Audit Process
Certification to 27001:2022 requires an audit to demonstrate that compliance with the measures, requirements and requirement objectives have been effectively implemented.
TISAX®, on the other hand, focuses on the audit objective.
There are 8 of these and at least one audit objective must be defined, but several can be attracted.
Depending on the audit objective, different ISMS processes and measures must be implemented.
Each audit objective can be found in the VDA-ISA requirements catalogue and is the benchmark for the ISMS.
For certification according to TISAX® there are three different audit levels, the so-called Assessment levels, with correspondingly different requirements for each level
Level 1 means self-assessment and is very rarely accepted.
Level 2 includes a document review with a remote audit.
Level 3 also has document review, but is associated with an on-site audit.
The TISAX® requirements catalogue, unlike ISO 27001:2022, has a defined maturity level concept in 6 levels (from 0 to 5).
Each required measure must be completed with at least target maturity level 3.
After successful completion of the TISAX® label, it is valid for 3 years.
Unlike ISO 27001:2022, there are no annual surveillance audits to verify the continuous improvement of the ISMS by a certified TISAX® auditor.
If the TISAX® audit is completed with a non-conformity, the company has 9 months from the date of the audit to close the non-conformity. The companies receive the provisional label for this period and the final label after closing all non-conformities.
ISO 27001:2022 does not have this process.

3. Scope of application
With ISO 27001:2022, the companies can determine the scope themselves.
This means that the scope of ISO 27001:2022 can also be limited to sub-areas of the company.
In the case of TISAX® certification, the scope is already specified.
In most cases, the standard scope of the site is attracted, which covers the procedures, processes and resources of the entire company.
In individual cases, the reduced or extended scope can also be applied here.
For example, a company may outsource certain activities, delegate them to partner companies or suppliers, or carry them out in separate subsidiaries.
